Yup, Jon is the only place in the US to purchase one of these. Libre for some reason feels that having only one store here in the U.S. is the best choice for them to maximize sales. Personally I don't see any logic in this but that seems to be the way it is.

Particularly difficult to understand when until recently, your only way to get a price was via email. I looked into a libre before nabx '10 and didn't get a response. Bought an Ivanpah instead, which ironically, Jon also sells now.

Yes KBSS is the distributor for Libre products in North America and to keep the price down we sell direct to customers rather than going to retailers. I can only name two shops that can afford to stock buggies at the quantities needed to make it profitable for them. Try getting a shipment from Europe ($1.45 US per Euro) then through customs (3% and higher) pay your broker ($250 and up)drive to shippers dock and back to the shop (gas?) and then do inventory and shelve the buggies. Then give the best prices for great equipment with 100% product warranty from KBSS says it all. I do not quote prices on the phone and use email so the customer and I always have a reference copy.
Sorry I missed your email beamerbob but during that time cancer was a bigger concern for me and i am sure if you had called or tried another email maybe it would have helped at that time.
If any retailer wants to sell Libre products my door is open but the retail prices will not go up.

I made a call after not hearing back from the email, but I now understand the tough priorities you had at the time. Your new website has eliminated this bottleneck for shoppers now, and it looks great. You were very helpful and responsive later when I was needing help on a buggy rack.:thumbup:
